Mathias blinked as he watched Gene unlimber a much different crossbow than he had been using before, then blinked again as he watched him bury a bolt deeply into the hide of the creature,"Woah..." He looked around a bit, and found that Emma had appropriated Tia, so his plan would have to remain on hold. He wouldn't mind if Emma managed to end the creature now in any case. All this running with armor on was making him feel a little tired...

((Azure, you totally ignored Aretha's reply to Kiro's apology.))
William's gait was smooth enough to rock the fevered girl to sleep. She awoke from her rest with a small whimper of pain when cool hands started prodding her back. Her back had mostly stopped bleeding, but there was still the dirt in the gash and her fever to worry about. Aretha turned and buried her face into William's back, trying to fall back asleep.
Bridget spilt the floor between three bowls. She added a few drops of each food coloring to seperate bowls, so she had one red, one blue and one green bowl. She began to mix the flour with the spoon, the powder clumping slightly due to the liquid
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Fayn's poor attempts to cut a simple square. She giggled openly at the girl. "God, you pesants really are stupid," she said haughtily, feeling very superior.

Fayn growled inaudibly. That girl sure knew how to annoy someone.
"I'm hopeless at knifework, okay? Geez." The girl grumbled, hacking out another square of the canvas.
She cast a glance at the bowls of food coloring mix.
"What're you planning to do with these, anyway?"
Fayn gestured towards the bowls and the canvas.

"How did you ever make it past the Academy without any knife skills? They're part of the basics!" Bridget exclaimed, pure and utter confusion on her face. Bridget remused mixing after a minute though. "I guess that's what makes us nobles better than you. I am going to fill them with different colored flour and welcome the first team home."

Fayn sighed. "You don't need to cook with a knife to get in..you just need to know how to use it. On a fiend, that is."
She waved the knife in the air as if to make out her point.
The rookie listened to Bridget as she explained her...master plan of mischief.
"Wait, what? We're going to welcome them with these? Ugh. I'll never get assigned to a team.."
Fayn groaned inwardly, nevertheless helping out to hack out another square of canvas.

((You talkin' about Aretha there, Azure? She's been kinda in and out...))
William followed the local healer woman to a small room nearby that seemed unoccupied. The woman gestured for his to set Aretha on the lone table in the room. William did so carefully not letting Aretha fall over.
"Leave now. Leave this to me." The woman said.
"Maybe I should stay, I don't know if she can stay sitting up on her own." William replied, worried.
"I'm going to have to remove her upper clothing in order to bandage her."
"Maybe I should leave." William said, a faint blush dusting his face. "Take care of her." He said as he turned and left the room. He closed the door behind him and leaned against the wall beside it in the hallway.
"She'll just be a few minutes, I'm sure. Then we'll get your hands bandaged up." He said to Isaac. "We should probably spend the night here and rest before we attempt to leave again."
The elderly woman, Marilyn, waited until the young Hunter man had left the room and then began gently removing the wounded girls clothing, stripping her to the waist. She cleaned the wounds of all dirt and other residue from their battle. She then applied an herbal salve to the wounds and applied cloth bandages over the wounds. She finished by wrapping a long strip of cloth around the girls chest to hold the bandages in place.
"There you are miss." Marilyn said, not knowing if the girl was even hearing her. "I've done all I can for you. The rest is up to you. Now, to get you some rest." She redressed the young woman and then went and opened the door to find the two Hunter boys waiting in the hall. "Next." She said, looking of the shorter, younger looking, of the two. His hands were obviously wounded. "Once we're done fixing up your hands I'll find you some lodgings for the night. The girl shouldn't be moved for at least tonight, maybe longer, she seems to have a fever."
"A good precaution. We'll stay however long we have to if it means Arethas health." William said.

((I was curious if anybody here would like to get to know each other a little better. Not a lot, it's just common sense to keep most things about yourself confidential when online. But maybe first names or something, maybe ages? I dunno. I just feel that I've been roleplaying with many of you for a long time and don't actually know anything about you. If you'd rather remain anonymous that's cool, I just thought I'd throw this out there....))

(( Yeah, I was talking about her. I thought she like passed out while she was talking to Kiro so I thought... Yeah.. Anyway. ))
The villagers had given Kiro the payment in full since he was the one who brought the clarification. Kiro tucked the small bag into the right side of his clothing near his sword on his right hip. He sighed in a groaning fashion and made his way to William.
"So, what now?" Kiro asked William.
(( Sorry, I'm still kind of holding up Team One. I don't know if Tia could "launch" Emma's rapiers like. It would be all inaccurate or something. >.> ))

((Read this --> http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?page=3572&t=4895#227335599))
Bridget gave Fayn a very confused, weird look that clearly read: Are you stupid or something? Closing her eyes, she resisted the urge to 'calmly' explain how knifework had nothing to do with cooking and everything to do with accuracy and how she should be able to use a knife properly because of her training at the Corps, all while beating her into the ground.
"You will not get caught if you follow my instructions and don't screw up. Though judging by your skills, you're screwed," she said with malice in her voice. Bridget was still annoyed at this girl who was older than her and trained, and who was still an idiot.
((She was going in and out, but she did speak to you. Oh well.))
Aretha missed William's bodyheat when he placed her on the table and pulled away. She was so cold, and he felt warm. She heard the words the woman spoke but did not get them in her fevered state. When the woman stripped her upper body of clothing, she shivered. When the healer cleaned the wound, Aretha let out pitiful cries of pain as the dirt was cleaned from the tender gash. She still when the salve was rubbed in, numbing the pain.
Finally the woman bandaged her and dressed her once more. Aretha was still cold, still shivering due to the fever. Her eyes had remained shut through the ordeal, tearstains down her cheeks. Aretha curled up into a fedal position on the table, trying to keep herself warm. Though her body was overheating, Aretha only felt cold. Through chattering teeth, she muttered one word, "Blanket."

(Eh heh heh.... Sorry for the lateness and inactivity...)
Emma shook her head, "Nevermind honey. Now I'm just wasting time... I apologize. I wanted you guys to get as much experience as possible, but I'm ruining that now." Emma shrugged her shoulders. "I think now would be one of those watch and learn moments." She tossed one of her rapiers to her right hand, twirling it once and reeling her arm back. She glared at the snake fiend that everyone was terrorizing. Gene appeared to be getting down to brass taxes too. Then, she threw the rapier, emitting a loud, rather manly grunt. The blade would not be kept from spinning, however, it would bury itself deep if deep if it struck true. Emma whistled then, Mendoza basically appearing next to her.
Jumping on, Emma tossed her other rapier to her right hand. She would not bother with her tuck, it was too thin to be fighting this fiend. "Go!" She shouted and spurred Mendoza onward. The horse whinnied and galloped towards the fiend at full speed. It would be the same plan as before, launch Emma. However, this time, Emma wouldn't be using her shoulder.
(Stoic, I'd like to leave the rapier throw to you. I want to wait until this thing is dead before I take full control of Emma again. Wouldn't want to start the God-mode.)
Isaac had left his halberd outside the building, it was just laying on the ground. It's not like anyone would take it, it was covered in all the nasty of the bug. Besides, the villagers would likely assume it was the Hunter's, and not risk possibly bringing the whole group down upon them.
Isaac leaned on the wall just outside the room where Aretha was getting her wounds dressed. He nodded when William spoke, not really having anything to add. Then he heard the cries, and forced himself not to do anything. It wasn't new, but he still didn't like hearing people in pain. It was like a harsh noise. He sighed, waiting for the woman to call him. When she did, he entered with a slight smile on his face. He was hoping to try and cheer Aretha up. Marilyn pointed to a chair and uttered that he sit while she retrieved a blanket and a cold cloth for Aretha. He carefully wiped his brow with the back of his hand.
(Clueless... crying
edited in: Nah, Azure I'm sorry if I gave you that impression. I was actually just wasting time at that point. It was quite silly really...)

((Azure, I don't think you're doing anything irritating...
Rai, I'd like you to finish up your preparations for whatever evil plan you are concocting so we can get Teams 2 and 3 back home.))
Marilyn pulled a heavy quilted blanket out of a cabinet as she walked back into the room and draped it over Aretha's shoulders. She also passed a cold cloth to William and gestured for him to aply it to her forehead. William complied without hesitation, he was quite worried about his teammate.
"We're gonna have to stick around for tonight at least. Aretha's got a fever, and we need it to break before we can move her around too much." William said as he held the cloth to the girls head. He also adjusted the blanket to make sure she was covered.
Marilyn came at Isaac next. She moved his arms around by the wrist to get better angles as she wiped them down until they were clean. Then she applied her salves to them and finally wrapped them in clean clothes, as she had done to Aretha's back.
"Now follow me, all of you." Marilyn said. She led them out of the room, William carrying Aretha again, and down a few halls to a set of rooms across from each other. She opened the doors and they went in. There was food waiting for them there already on a table to one side. There were three cots on the floor.
"I saw that two of you were injured when you came back and expected that you would be staying with us tonight. There's a room across the hall for the girl."
Marilyn opened the door to the second room and William walked in. There was an actual bed there and he carefully layed Aretha down on it. He arranged her blanket so that it covered her completely and then left the room, Marilyn staying behind. He went back to the 'boys' room and closed the door on his way in.
"Well, we might as well eat something and then get some rest. Good job tonight, guys."

Kiro sighed and laid down on one of the cots. "Well, you guys get some sleep. William, you know I can't sleep out here in the middle of nowhere. I'll keep watch like I always do." Kiro stated. Sleeping is the most dangerous activity. Kiro reminded himself. It was something he grew up with as an assassin and therefore sleeping always made Kiro feel uneasy, especially when he was in an unknown location.
Tia frowned, feeling like dead weight. "Grrr!" Tia growled to herself as Emma took the 'spotlight' of the battle.

((I was pushing it off cause it didn't seem you were making your way back. And I got sidetracked my readdiction to fanfics and my new addiction....Repo! the Genetic Opera.
And Azure, you're not annoying me.))
She slept and didn't sleep. Aretha stood on the edge of fitful restless unconsciousness. Little moans and groans breathed past her lips, as she wriggled, tossed and turned in her fevered dreams, never truely awake, never truely asleep.
Blood. Smell it in the air. Covering the ground. Feel it on your skin. Pain. Searing. Screams. Not hers. Agony. Shi. Get off her. Blood pounding. Rage. White hot rage. Red white vision. More powerful than she's ever been. Sickening crack. Strangling. Power draining. Gone. Destoryed. Terrified eyes. Backing away. Why? Monster. No. Help! No!
Bridget did not give the worthless, talentless recurit any more jobs. She cut the string, filled the squares with some of the colored powder and tied them in a knot loose enough to slip loose when you threw them and they hit their target. Bridget got a sack and carefully placed the powder bombs in it.
"Follow me. They should be here soon. I know they need pass a certain tree. We'll attack from there."
